{\headingfont Arcane Art}
\begin{quote}
When you \textbf{weave a performance into a basic spell}, choose an ally and an effect:

• Heal 1d8 damage

• +1d4 forward to damage

• Their mind is shaken clear of one enchantment

• The next time someone successfully assists the target with aid, they get +2 instead of +1

Then roll +CHA.

• On a 10+, the ally gets the selected effect.

• On a 7-9, your spell still works, but you draw unwanted attention or your magic reverberates to other targets affecting them as well, GM’s choice.
\end{quote}
\end{quote}

Choose an area of expertise:

• Spells and Magicks

• Gods and Their Servants

When you \textbf{first encounter an important creature, location, or item (your call) covered by your bardic lore} you can ask the GM any one question about it; the GM will answer truthfully. The GM may then ask you what tale, song, or legend you heard that information in.
\end{basicmove}

\begin{basicmove}{Charming and Open}
When you \textbf{speak frankly with someone}, you can ask their player a question from the list below. They must answer it truthfully, then they may ask you a question from the list (which you must answer truthfully).

• What do you wish I would do?

• How can I get you to \_\_\_\_?

• What are you really feeling right now?

\begin{basicmove}{A Port in the Storm}
    When you \textbf{arrive at a civilized settlement spoken of in
      lore or song}, tell the GM something you've heard about the
    place. They’ll tell you how it’s changed since the Shattering.
